So by now we’re all up to date on the Free Britney movement and her conservatorship. If you’re not, A) where have you been and B) you can check out everything you need to know in our handy guide here.

Currently it is believed that Britney’s finances, career, and well… life, is controlled by her conservators, her father, manager and an attorney. But it has now been reported that the court has finally approved of Britney’s request to hire her own litigation counsel against her dad, Jamie Spears.

In an Instagram post on a fan account, They gave a detailed explanation of what happened in the court hearing. It reads:

“Britney asked that a law firm named Loeb & Loeb represent her in her ongoing conservatorship battle against her father, Jamie Spears. Britney made it clear in court docs she did not want her father handling her money or estate moving forward.

Britney’s request to hire her own litigation counsel was APPROVED at today’s court hearing (against Mr. Spears’ wishes).”

this is a simple but detailed explanation of what happened in court today: Britney asked that a law firm named Loeb & Loeb represent her in her ongoing conservatorship battle against her father, Jamie Spears. Britney made it clear in court docs she did not want her father handling her money or estate moving forward. Britney's request to hire her own litigation counsel was APPROVED at today's court hearing (against Mr. Spears' wishes). This was approved by the judge even though Jamie objected to Britney hiring her own legal counsel. "The Court finds that sufficient evidence has been provided to grant the matter on calendar this date based upon reading the moving papers and consideration of all presented evidence. The Court overrules the objections," the court docs state. As we previously reported, Britney's legal advocate, Sam Ingham, stated Britney was aware her father Jamie would lawyer up to fight against her wishes. Mr. Spears wanted to handle this outside of court in an effort to avoid costly litigation expenses. Essentially, the house of cards is beginning to fall and Mr. Spears is losing his tight grip of control on Britney. Previously filed court docs stated Loeb & Loeb are "best qualified to work with [Sam Ingham] in representing Britney's interest in this proceeding." This is a MAJOR win for Britney because it means she has her own representation of her choosing, something that has not happened in 12 years. Thank you to @breatheheavy

As previously reported, Britney’s father has thwarted her plans to hire a legal council. The post continues:

“The Court finds that sufficient evidence has been provided to grant the matter on calendar this date based upon reading the moving papers and consideration of all presented evidence. The Court overrules the objections,” the court docs state.”

Congratulations to the popstar on the major move as she’s well on her way to finally becoming independent!
